Blood is typically drawn from a vein in your arm, and you can resume your normal activities immediately afterwards.

During the Liver Function Test (LFT)

Upon receiving an LFT test prescription from your doctor, PharmEasy will dispatch a highly trained phlebotomist to your registered location. The phlebotomist will cleanse your skin to reduce the risk of skin microorganisms causing an infection. To facilitate the blood draw, the specialist will then employ Vein Finder technology to locate your veins with precision. Subsequently, they will use a needle to obtain blood samples from your arm.

Following the blood collection, the technician will apply gauze and a bandage over the puncture site, after which your blood sample will be sent to a laboratory for the necessary testing.

Certain enzyme levels are marginally higher in children, especially infants. Moreover, there may be a minimal difference in the normal LFT values between males and females.

The normal values, parameters, and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.

If one or more biomarkers of the liver function test are abnormal, it might indicate liver damage or disease. Liver damage can be caused by various conditions such as hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, liver cancer, diabetes, liver cirrhosis or jaundice.
